Small forces? ?A reinforced company of Marines is a small force? ?That's more than twice what you normally see on the 40k battlefield, in an infantry-heavy army!
Sorry, I was refering specifically to this scenerio & when I said small force, I actually meant smaller than their opponent.
I'd consider a 775 point Tau advantage significant. The Tau drastically outrange the Marines as well.
I'm not saying it can't be done, as I've never played with or against Tau. It just doesn't seem like the best way to demonstrate the needs of the Codex list.
Pitting them against an experimental army in a scenerio rather than a tournament style game just doesn't seem like the way to go.
I'm all for scenerios. I feel that sticking exclusively to the Tournament style is too restrictive. I DO feel tournament style is the way to go if you want to balance the list.
I'm on your side when it comes to improving the Codex list. I'm really not trying to be argumenative, just trying to point out that I don't think this is going to achieve it's goal. Nothing wrong with the scenerio from a stricly "gaming" perspective.
